Two Big Audiences attend Sells Brothers
Show at Bonham.
BONHAN, Tex, Oct. l1.-Sells Brothers
duplicated their Paris success here TO-
day. No such vast, enthusiastic crowd
was ever attracted to Bonham on cir
Gus day before. The Messrs. Sells az
gregation tickles the fancy of Texas audi
ences immensely, and everyone here
unitesin declaring it to be the hugest and
finest circus that has eyer visited the
state.
The tents cover eight acres of
ground. The main tent, where
the circus proper is given,
IS tremendous affair, but it's seating c.
pacity was none too great to accommo-
date the stupeRdous throng in attendance
this afternoons The ring performances
move with Clock.hke precision, and charm
and enthuse the auditor in superIative
degree. The hfppodrome races, the hook
and ladder contest, the thirty-horse set
by young Wtllism Sells, the feats Of the
cowboys, Indians and vaqueros, the
broad-sWord contest on horseback,
and the superb bareback riding
of Pauline Lee, Belle Bryant,
"Bud" German and James Bel, stirred
the spectstcrs to the highest pitch Of ex-
citemenss
a prominent railroad official stated
here today that Sells Brothers use nine
more cages than any other circus that
will visit Texas this year.

Turkish Justice

Near that town (Rodosto) a drovel
taking cattle to market lost two Of his
bullocks on the road. When he reached
Rodosto he at once informed the munich
pal authorities of the fact, who dispatched
three gendsrmes in search Of the missing
beasts, which it was thought might either
have been strayed or have been stolen
On the high road they met two mouhad-
iirs driving before them two stout oxen
that had a suspicious resemblance to
those of which they were in search. Put
ting, literally, two and two together he
couple of men and couple of bulIocks-
the gendarmes challenged the mCuhed-
jirs to halt and give up their booty. But
these had no intention of parting with
their companions. They hurried on, be-
| lieving the gendaTmes to be
brigands in search OF a dinner. Finding
their authority ignored, the gendsrmes
| fred upon the fugitives, killing one of
them. The other mouhadjir took to
his heels and escaped, leaving the cattle
there, of which the gendarmes at once
took possession. Having hastily buried
their victim, the courageous individuals
came back to Rodosto, bringing their
bullocks with them. When these latter,
however, were shown to the drover, he
denied that they were those which he had
lost, being or quite another color and
another breed! In the face of such 8
declaration as this. it was evident that
the g n armes b. erred on the side of
professional zo&l Instead Of finding the
lost bullocks, they had killed man A
scheme to save their dignity had
thus to be devised, and accordingly
some one was prompted to swear
that the cattle they had captured be-
lopged to him, aud had been stolen from
his farp but little while before. By this
lie he thus became unlawfully possessed
of the bullocks, while exonorating the
brave gendarmes from all excess Of zesl
in the discharge Of their duty and their
carbines. It would, however, appear that
they were not to escape altogether I'M
punished, for when the story got about
the local authorities put the. gendarmes
under arrest, not for having killed an in
nocent msn, but because they had buried
him in such haste, without having first
washed the corpse in accordance with the
religious law. An exception to this is
made only for soldiers in war time.

Ballimofe and Ohio Earnings.

BALTIMORE. Md, Oct. 1l.-There was
meeting to-day of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad directors, when the sub
Jet of 8 dividend for the past six months
was discussed. 1t Is stated the earnings
of the main line for September
exceed August earnings by $4,000.
There was decided increase in the earn
ings east of the Ohio river, while there
was falling eff west of the Ohio river.
It was determined to declare 8
dividend for the psst six months,
but It was not definitely
settled whether it will be or I per cent.
Mr.. Garrett was present at the meeting.
It is said Mr.. Garrett was not pleased
with the sale Of the telegraph system, be-
cause he believes he could have
obtained 100000 more for it, but
the matter has gone too far now to OPP
pose it. 1t is thought now among the
directors that the Pullman car
system of the road will not
be sold at least for some
time, as the road is in good condition.
The director states that Mr.. Garrett now
controls sufficient of the stock to re-elect
himself president, but it is thought that
he would not do so.

good sized fortune from his wife,
who accumulated q large amount CT
means by
KEEPING A SWELL BOARDING HOUSE
in Remsen street, Brooklyn. About a
year before her death Edwin Booth came
to the Academy OF Music there to play q
weeks engagement. Mr.. Booths man
ager WAS desirous of placing al the
members Of his supporting company i'll
one hotel, but none Of the hotels had sat
isfactory accommodations for them. Mrs.
Gloucester heard of this, and her negoti
atoms with the manager disclosed the
fact that she owned q spacious house IN
Henry street which was completely fur
nished and equipped, and which she had
kept tenantless in order to be prepared
for emergencies. Since her decease
her daughters, each Of whom received a
large amount Of money from the estate,
have continued the extensive business
which She built up. DR.. Gloucester
practices medicine in Brooklyn from
September until June and then he goes TO
his country seat on Long Island. q
j. P, Johnson Howard is one Of the
most extensive real estate holders among
the negro residents of Brooklyn. He has
boards are attached that he has more bill

ent theeters than he can personally use,
and the gratuitous distribution OF these
are said to solidfy his influence IN ward

desirable possessions. They hsve extern
sive establishments, large stats of en-
ployes and warehouses filed with table
linen, glassware, silverware, cutlery,
crockery, china aud all the other adjuncts
of seeming business prosperity. But
when they are asked il the popular i'm
preston as to the amount of their re-
spective fortunes is correct, they sadly
haul out their books of account and show
an army of upcollected debts, which they
solemnly assert represents, not only the
extent OF their misdirected confidence in
the debt paying intentions of persons who
not only praised their cuisine while it
was furnished them on credit, but also
the fortunes which they were supposed
to have accumulated.

WEATHEREORDo
The City 60 Rsvs Waterworks-To Exhibit
Personal Mention.

The City so Esvs waterworks-To Exhibit
Personal Mention.
Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFORD, TRx., Oct. lit is q
settled fact now that this city will in a
short time have system of waterWorks
in operation. Several of our most prom
inent citizens have organized and have
s. cured q charter under the name of the
WeatherfOrd Water, Ice and Gas Com
pRny, and The GAZETTE correspondent
learned this evening from several of those
interested in this enterprise that an effort
to secure franchise from the city ct the
next regular meeting of the City Council
would De made and then work would be
at once begun to establish watorWorks,
and afterwards the other adjuncts would
be added. 1t was not learned what
system would be adopted, but
those directly interested in this en-
terprise state positively that work will be
commenced right way, and these are
gentlemen that mean business, and their
having taken hold of it is assurance that
Weatnerford will not be without water
works but short while. THE GAZETTE
correspondent learned this evening from
eron, that Mr.. Jno. DeGalliford, of La
crosse, Wisconsin, has made the city
proposition to erect the city system OF
water works in this city, and do it right
away. His proposition is to build the
works and furnish the city free of charge
TWENTY-FIVE hydrants for twenty years,
if the city will guarantee him five per
cent. per ennum interest on $4,000, his
investment for twenty years. 1t is not
known what proposition will be made the
city by the citizens who have just or
ganized, but it is safe TO say the water
works question has assumed definite
shape which will materialize in very
short time.
Several of Parker county's enter
prising farmers and fine stock rails
ers are getting their stock ready for
the Dallas State Fair. There will be
shipped from this county nearly three
ca.losds of thoroughbred horses and cat
tie, and the county and this city will be
